Review Helldivers 2 (PS5) - The Best Co-Op Shooter on PS5
For Super Earth
Helldivers 2 is some of the best fun we've had with friends on PS5. It's a simple and broad statement to start a review with, but in many ways Helldivers 2 is a simple game. This satirical bug-squashing shooter has its upgrades and customisation, but it's at its best when you're holding the trigger and not letting go. This game knows...

News Relief as Helldivers 2 Players Unearth Anti-Tank Stratagem That Isn't Mines
RIP MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines
In the process of unearthing plans for an interplanetary battle station that could change the Galactic War's face forever, Helldivers 2 players have unwittingly stumbled upon a fearsome new anti-tank support stratagem. Early testing seems to indicate the MLS-4X Commando Rocket Launcher is quite a cracker, but mostly,...

News The Obligatory Helldivers 2 Isn't As Popular As It Was Headlines Have Started to Emerge
It's not a surprise, is it?

A slew of headlines about the game’s supposed decline started circling on social media during the slow summer weekend...
News Helldivers 2 Director Defends Elden Ring Difficulty: 'Always Cater to a Select Audience'
Gluttons for punishment
The topic of difficulty inevitably crops up whenever FromSoftware drops a new release, and we once again find ourselves knee-deep in that old discourse.

News Helldivers 2 Trolley Problem Forces Players to Choose: Save Sick Kids or Anti-Tank Mines?
Won't SOMEONE think of the children?!
Helldivers 2's latest Major Order presents something of a moral quandary.

Preview Helldivers 2 Utterly Revels in Its Chaotic Bug Battles
Hands on with Sony's new shooter
The jury's still out on whether Sony's live-service push will prove fruitful or not, but Helldivers 2 at least gets it off on the front foot. The satisfying addictiveness of the Arrowhead Game Studios follow-up will see it fit perfectly in a rotation of other online and single player titles, circumventing the pull of...
About The Game
Enlist in the Helldivers and join the fight for freedom across a hostile galaxy in a fast, frantic, and ferocious third-person shooter.
URGENT BROADCAST – SUPER EARTH ARMED FORCES
Freedom. Peace. Democracy.
Your Super Earth-born rights. The key pillars of our civilization.
Of our very existence.
But the war rages on. And everything is once again under threat.
Join the greatest military force the galaxy has ever seen and make this a safe and free place to live.
BECOME A LEGEND
You will be assembled into squads of up to four Helldivers and assigned strategic missions.
Watch each other’s back – friendly fire is an unfortunate certainty of war, but victory without teamwork is impossible.
LOADOUTS
Rain down freedom from above, sneak through enemy territory, or grit your teeth and charge head-first into the jaws of combat.
How you deliver liberty is your choice; you’ll have access to a wide array of explosive firepower, life-saving armor and battle-changing stratagems… the jewel in every Helldiver’s arsenal.
REQUISITION
Super Earth recognises your hard work with valuable Requisition. Use it to access different rewards that benefit you, your squad, your destroyer ship and our overall war effort.
THREATS
Everything on every planet wants you dead. That’s what we’re dealing with.
Each enemy has distinct and unpredictable characteristics, tactics, and behavior – but they all fight ferociously and without fear or morality.
THE GALACTIC WAR
Capturing enemy planets, defending against invasions, and completing missions will contribute to our overall effort.
This war will be won or lost depending on the actions of everyone involved.
We stand together, or we fall apart.
TACTICAL WARFARE
- Adaptive triggers: Discover recoil, rate of fire and the weight of each weapon.
- Haptic feedback: Feel alien worlds come to life with environmental, equipment and weather effects.
- Built-in microphone: Swap tactics with your comrades in the chaos of combat.
- PS5® Tempest 3D AudioTech: Pinpoint approaching enemies, nearby battles, and distant screams from any direction.
